England football team experience what it’s like living with dementia
The England men’s football team experience what it’s like living with dementia.
Wearing the ‘Empathy Suit’ - a suit made up of 13 components which work to inhibit mobility, motor skills, vision and hearing, players Ivan Toney, Kyle Walker and Jarrad Branthwaite were given a unique sense of how it may feel to be a person living with dementia.
Since 2021, The FA and Alzheimer’s Society have been working together.
We’re using the power of football to raise awareness of dementia symptoms and the importance of getting a diagnosis.
If you see the signs of dementia in a loved one, give them the same support you give your team. Use Alzheimer’s Society’s symptoms checklist at alzheimers.org.uk/sports
